The Republic of Arengard is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Chancellor Pratarus with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 7.479 billion Arengardans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyperion. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arengardian economy, worth 788 trillion aeroes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 105,439 aeroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arengard's national animal is the wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Titanism.

Arengard is ranked 5,650^th in the world and 1^st in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 113.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
